Well, maybe they can get lucky and something like Return of Reckoning will happen. Depends on how closely From watches the server codebase. I really wish when stuff like this happens, the companies would just open source the infrastructure stuff.posted by Samizdata at 2:27 AM on November 28 [1 favorite]

I'm sure everyone at From would love to keep the servers running indefinitely, except whoever's job it is to actually keep the servers running*. But even if they did, there would certainly be some point at which the number of people actually playing Demon's Souls drops below the number needed for the online stuff to actually work well. I wonder if things are getting there already, and that's why they're shutting things off. At this point, I expect every month fewer PS3s get turned than the previous month.posted by aubilenon at 3:11 PM on November 28
